Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior vowed to return to his former club “one day” while attending the Flamengo-Vasco da Gama derby at the Maracana.
The Brazil forward has flown to Rio to take a few days’ break from football after completing the European season with Real Madrid. He was in attendance at the Maracana, where his former team Flamengo thrashed Vasco 4-1 in a derby clash. During half-time, the forward took the pitch and was honoured by both teams with a jersey with his name and number printed on the back.
“It’ll take a while, but I will be back one day (to Flamengo). Very happy to be here at Maracana, at Flamengo and at a classic. Very happy for everything they did for me. That I can stand firm to continue the fight for those to come,” he said.
